"Ab Kya ho gaya, Sharon?" Rey slid into the wall. Dazzlers were still in the college rechecking their performance for final corrections. Sharon frowned upon them at intervals castigated often at the finishing of movements.

"Tum log na… shaayad soch rahe honge ki mein kitni bossy hu… guys… lekin tum log ek step ko itne baar miss Kar rahe ho…" Sharon rounded on them. Neha, Amar and Bharath  interchanged a peep. Swayam was smiling though they all were tired like hell.

"Guys…" Surbhi came into the RH. Everyone looked at her. "Sorry for disturbing... Lekin Rey tumse kuch information chahiye ta…" Sharon smiled at her and she returned the same. Rey and Swayam exchanged a surprised glance as they weren't fighting and indeed were smiling at each other. They were still unaware of them being friends.

"Ha... pucho na..." Rey's eyes were shutting as he was sleep deprived.

"Hum fest ke liye kab kaise niklenge? Venue, accomodations? Details chahiye ta? Mujhe toh kuch nahi pata…" Surbhi told him.

"Wo… Na. You don't need to worry about it, Surbhi. Venue and accomodations… in Sab cheeze Kriya handle Kar rahi hai... Ab Hume vahi jaake pata karna hai… but hum Kal raat ko hi niklenge yahanse so that we will have one day buffer to settle ourselves… aur haan .. uskeliye Rey ne already permission le liya hai…" Sharon explained. Rey and Swayam's expressions were priceless.

"Oh is it… Thank you, Sharon… Then… Chalo... I'll go n inform my team… You guys carry on…" Surbhi waved off.

Sharon looked at others and all were staring her back like she had grown horns. "Kya hua? Tum Sab log aise kyun ghur rahe ho mujhe?" Sharon enquired.

"Tumhe bhukar toh nahi hua na, Sharon" Swayam checked her forehead. "Nahi toh Tum aur Surbhi see baat karna…"

"Smile karna… aur wo bi…" Rey continued Swayam's words.

"Guys… tum log na…" Then Sharon revealed everything happened between them.

"Accha ji… ye sab Tum ab bol rahe ho…" Rey mocked her.

"Wow Sharon… aap bi sorry bolte ho?" Neha wondered. Sharon gaped at her. "Ha… humari Sharon bi sorry bol sakti hai .." Rey imitated her.

They all finished the practice and left to house. Everyone were gone except for Rey and Swayam. Swayam waited as Rey tried to start his bike. But it wasn't kicking on.

"Pata nahi..  isko Kya hogaya?" Rey kicked in but it went futile.

"Chodna Rey… Ek kaam Karo... Tum mere saath aajao… aaj raat ko Ghar per hi soja… ye bike subah aake dekte hai…" Swayam suggested him.

"Are you sure?" Rey wondered.

"Ha..  toh ismein sure hone ka Kya baat hai… tu aise bol Raha hai ki mein tumhe Mera Ghar per kabhi bula hi nahi hu… ya tum mere Ghar kabhi aye hi nahi ho…" Swayam  berated him.

"Aisa nahi hai, Swayam… hum dono ye tumhara itu sa cycle mein kaise jayenge Tera Ghar?" Rey asked, folding his hands sarcastically.

Swayam thought for a while. "Shayad puncture ho jaayega. Lekin dekte hai… tu aana…"

Then both left for Swayam's house in that tiny cycle of Swayam's, carrying their bromance. Thankfully, it didn't breakdown.

It was midnight and Rey flipped sides in the bed. Taani was no where to be seen when he and Swayam came home. Her room was dead silent. He couldn't barge into her room when Swayam was with him. So, he just followed him into the room around.
